METZ - Metz flash Mecablitz 45 CT1 Service
Service manual for the METZ Mecablitz 45 CT1 electronic flash unit, 1976 model. This technical documentation provides the complete reference needed to understand and service this professional-grade flash system. The manual covers full technical specifications including film speeds (21 DIN 100 ASA, 18 DIN 50 ASA, 15 DIN 25 ASA), illumination angles at 65° horizontal and 46° vertical, and swivel reflector design offering 360° horizontal with 90° vertical rotation across six setting positions. Power supply configuration is detailed for NiCd accumulator (6 x 1.2V 0.5Ah), alkaline manganese cells, and optional mains-powered packs (models N 20 and N 21). Flash capacity ranges from 50 to 2000 shots with NiCd power and 120 to 2600 with battery. Recycle times span 0.7 to 16 seconds depending on power source selection, while flash duration can be adjusted between 1/300 and 1/25000 seconds for precise exposure control. In-depth circuit operation sections explain the AC/DC converter topology, automatic exposure system with series-controlled thyristor regulation, and optional accessory compatibility. Physical dimensions, weight data, and rapid NiCd accumulator charging procedures complete the reference material. Essential for technicians servicing and repairing vintage photographic flash equipment.
